Highlights include:
- Rafting with the Kumi Team in the mornng
- Swimming in the Nile and enjoying a Nile after rafting
- 4 Class 5 Rapids
- Going down a 2m waterfall and a 3m waterfall and having Jeanah washed out of the boat
- Fearing for our lives as our guide told us he was going to tip over our boat during one of the class 4 rapids, and actually tipping it over (picture above). He said we had to experience being tipped over since we were the only boat that hadn't tipped over in a rapid
- Being told by Juma that he thought we were going to be 5 weak girls after the Kumi team left, but actually making it to the 3m waterfall (which we had to paddle to through a rapid) which one of the other boats with 8 people wasn't even able to get to
- Getting picked up by the safety kayakers after being tipped over and being told by Juma that Muzungu legs were flying everywhere
- Basking in the sun as Juma aka 'Big J' paddles us down the river
- Jumba teaching us Luganda slang such as 'Mudugavu' to yell at the locals on the riverbanks
- Finally getting sung 'Jamba Sana' and making up our own words which involved a lot of 'Muzungu'
- Being told that there were going to be a lot of crocodiles born this year in the Nile. How do you know we asked? Apparently the foam that was flooding our boat from the river wasn't foam at all according to Juma. It was crocodile sperm. Right.

PS, they say if you drink the Nile, then you will be back.
